Will you drop SF6 for T8?

[Sandy]

Considering how scammy and lazy SF6 is.

Terrible character customization (for main characters), 6$-24$ skins, battlepass system, 1 patch per year, no crossover playable characters (all we get in crossover events is overpriced outfits and some stickers), terrible story, no character interactions and bad music.

In all of this T8 is much better and dominates SF6. Especially in fair and free customization. There are so many free options to customize your characters in T8.

I already dropped SF6 and I'm waiting for FEXL 3.0
I want to like Tekken, I just don't. Played them casually since Tekken 2.

I doubt there will be many ppl that will drop this for T8 like it or not many ppl like the game they just hate what they do with it cash vise and thats sadly something that T8 can end with as well dont ya think ?

I'll play both like every real FGC player.

There's absolutely no way In hell I'd drop street fighter for Tekken. Movement just feels so god awful in that series I can't imagine trying to take it seriously competitively.

Tekken 7 had noctis and akuma which were really cool additions so far the Tekken 8 roster is pretty lame as it's Tekken characters. Just the french guy, yoshimitsu, and raven look kinda interesting that I've seen.

I'm not convinced I'm going to put any time in Tekken 8 but I'm considering it because some people at my local will.

I'd rather play uni2 but that's probably DOA unfortunately despite being the more interesting game.

T8's roster is lame because it has Tekken characters? Lmao.

There are 32 base characters to choose from. And there will be crossover characters, like Tifa Lockhart.

What do you have in SF6? SF characters? So lame... Going by your logic.

Plus only 18 base characters. And 0 crossover characters. All you will get is some lame outfit for 30$ in crossover events.

SF6 sucks hard to Tekken.

Tekken has always had really bad characters, other than the Mishimas and Yoshimitsu the roster is less widely known than some of my taint hairs so yeah being a tekken character is generally speaking a drastic blow against character quality.

I've even played nearly every tekken and can barely recall the vast majority of them. Of those I can recall there are few I would even notice if they were deleted.

Street fighter on the other hand has the majority of the most iconic characters in the entire fighting game genre so its doing fine. Even things like KoF have characters more iconic than tekkens roster and KoF is much more niche.

SF has never really needed cross over characters to generate character interest. Tekken on the other hand needs them pretty badly, or at least more interesting new characters. But tekken is really bad at making new interesting characters. They managed 3 new characters this time around, 1 of which is just another mishima so recycled moveset in a large part with a generic tekken face and another is that god awful coffee girl.

The french dude seems cool but a bit too busy.

Tifa isnt a terrible addition I guess, but shes kind of the least interesting of the FF7 characters. Shes just kind of Jugs. I am still hoping they can do a whole lot better. Tekken 7 excelled in the cross over department. Tekken 7 even did better in the new character department with Gigas, Fahkumram, and Leroy all being at least a little interesting.

Anyway like I said, movement in tekken is just so miserable I am not convinced it'll even get 10 hours out of me. But no way in hell is it being considered as my game to actually play seriously.

What a weird headcanon.

Tekken doesn't struggle with interesting or very known characters... It has big iconic characters that everybody in the fgc knows. Or even casual people who barely play fighting games.

Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi, Nina, Steve, Law, King, Hworang, Xiaoyu, Lili, Asuka and etc.

Some of these are more popular than any SF characters. Same goes for Tekken in general. It's a more successful franchise than SF. Especially in sales.

And if you do a little research the main iconic characters are far more popular and used more than the crossover characters.

SF has some of the worst iconic characters out there. Find me another fighting game with a more boring main character than Ryu. Or find me a fighting game with a more boring main villain than Bison or JP.

Speaking of new characters, SF6 is garbage in this department. Marisa, Manon, JP, Kimberly, Lili, Aki... All terrible and extremely boring. Only Jamie is somewhat interesting.

And that is 7 chars in a tiny roster of 20 chars. More than third of all character spots went to these boring lame newcomers. SF6 has some of the worst rosters out there.

It needs some crossovers more than any other fighting game. But Capcom is lazy and will only milk their silly fans with scammy microtransactions of outfits. Because SF6 fanboys will eat anything up.

[Sandy]

And the movement thing is just a skill issue. If you master it you'll move faster and smoother than you will in SF6.

[Gleap]

I mean whatever BS you want to believe since facts dont seem to trouble you much.

But movement in tekken has always been a sticking point for everyone except the major tekken loyalists, hence why the entirety of its movement oriented meta exists and if you think literally anyone even heihachi is half as famous as even E.honda of all third rate characters you are welcome to be wrong.

[Sandy]

What facts? If we go by facts you're wrong in everything you said.

This is the dumbest opinion on these forums. I know people who barely play any games that know who Heihachi is. E Honda is some unknown nobody.

That's why T7 dominated all other fighting games in playerbase for years and sold over 10 mil copies last year? They even sold 1 mil copies in half a year during 2022.

T7 dominated SF5 hard. SF5 did so badly it only sold 7 mil in 7 years. And yet Capcom said it broke SF records.

Their own projections for SF6 is just 10 mil at best in its entire lifespan. Meaning 10 mil in 7 years.
While T7 sold 10 mil in 5 years.

That's why Scamcom pushes their scammy microtransactions so hard.

And I know people who havent played a video game since 1991 who know who Honda is. Thats a stupid argument.

Your list was pretty funny

Jin, Kazuya, Heihachi, Nina, Steve, Law, King, Hworang, Xiaoyu, Lili, Asuka and etc.

I have hundreds of hours in the tekken series and I cant tell you who these 3 nobodies (Xiaoyu, Lili, Asuka) are:. and Hworang is the guy who kicks that was popular in tekken tag, any actual character details are non existent. if you put a gun to my head I could maybe recall his hair color.

of those who remain you have 3 mishimas, 2 of which are literally identical. 3 characters with no discernible characterization or plot, (Nina, steve and Law).

Then there's king. I recall a cut scene of him 4-5 games ago helping out some orphans. That's kind of like having story I guess

Thats the best you could muster for characters lol. Muh sides, trash upon trash upon trash and you think it proves tekken has real characters somehow.

and again for the movement this is literally EVO, the best players in the world trying their absolute hardest and the movement is so crap and janky it makes me want to vomit.
https://youtu.be/Nz8VGLCsYtc

This is high level tekken, stuttery janky mirror matches from characters I cant even name with non existent plots.

Like hey if you enjoy trash you do you, but trying to pretend this movement or these characters are anything but is damn funny and to think its going to steal the player base from any other series is beyond idiotic.

"I have hundreds of hours in the tekken series and I cant tell you who these 3 nobodies (Xiaoyu, Lili, Asuka) are"

Bruh, this is some next level clownery. Like you actually need to try to write such bad takes.

It's like saying "I play SF games for hundreds of hours but I don't know who is Chun Li, Juri and Sakura".

What Tekken games you even played? Xaioyu is huge and one of the main characters since T3.

Lili and Asuka some of the biggest female names since Tekken 5 (when both appeared for the first time).
